Sew Grateful Week 2013: Save the Date

Sew Grateful Week is an annual challenge to give back to the sewing community and to show gratitude for everyone that supports us in our sewing hobby.  2013 will mark the 3rd annual Sew Grateful Week here at My Happy Sewing Place and will take place from the 4th to 10th of February. The week is divided into many activities.  You can participate in one or participate in them all.  On each day, just visit the My Happy Sewing Place blog to upload your blog post to the link party.  Here's the schedule:

• Monday the 4th of February: Sew Grateful Giveaways.  Host a giveaway to show your appreciation to the sewing community.

• Tuesday the 5th of February: Sew Grateful Reflection.  Write about why you are 'sew grateful'.

• Wednesday the 6th of February: Sew Grateful Sewing Resources. Write a tutorial, provide a free online pattern, provide a sewing resource, host a sew-along.  This is a day to share your knowledge and skills with the sewing community.

• Thursday the 7th of February: Sew Grateful Projects.  Post your 'sew grateful' project.  This can be something sewn with fabric you received as a gift, a pattern you won in a giveaway, a tutorial you used...the possibilities are endless.   The goal is to show gratitude by using the presents and kindness we have received throughout the year.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday the 8th through the 10th, I will post a series of highlights and wrap-up posts!
